"Gestures of Resistance" Doc Screening
"Gestures of Resistance" Doc Screening
Kirchgasse 9, Zurich
CH-8038 Zürich
Gestures of Resistance connects the voices of some of the last Holocaust survivors from Romania, the Czech Republic, and Slovakia with images of contemporary protest and lived solidarity. The film depicts antifascist resistance in all its forms—armed, civilian, artistic—and explores the meaning of these stories today. In light of resurgent right-wing movements gaining power, resistance is not only remembered but understood as an urgent task of the present.
Following the screening, there will be an introduction by Dr. Jill Marxer (Sigi Feigel Guest Professor for Jewish Studies, University of Zurich), and a discussion in English between the director, Olga Ştefan, and Prof. Dr. Botakoz Kassymbekova (Department of History, University of Zurich), moderated by Dr. Adam Knowles (Department of Philosophy, University of Zurich).
